So you hate someone that believes their Constitutional Rights have been violated? Interesting.... would you support the Fair Tax?

The imposition of an income tax is an abomination that every patriotic American should be protesting. The American Founders' view, heavily influenced by John Locke, is that the only legitimate function of government is the protection of its citizens' private property...people's income is their property...earned by the efforts of their own labor...that the government confiscates it turns the function of government on its head...from a body formed to collectively protect private property to a body formed to collectively steal private property

Every Man has a Property in his own Person. This no Body has any Right to but himself. The Labour of his Body, and the Work of his Hands, we may say, are properly his. .... The great and chief end therefore, of Mens uniting into Commonwealths, and putting themselves under Government, is the Preservation of their Property.
-- John Locke, "A Treatise Concerning Civil Government"

The real point of audits is to instill fear, not to extract revenue; the IRS aims at winning through intimidation and (thereby) getting maximum voluntary compliance
-- Paul Strassel, former IRS Headquarters Agent Wall St. Journal 1980

how have their rights been violated? There is a 16th amendment to the US Constitution that plainly makes the income tax legal
